...tries to get through Form 150 without some help unless he is well acquainted with the intricacies of Selective Service law. The "Handbook for Conscientious Objectors," compiled by the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors (CCCO) in Philadelphia is the bible for CO's. They praise it unreservedly for its legalistic, unpropagandistic, up-to-date presentation of the facts about procedures, problems, and consequences of seeking CO status...

A plan should be published early enough to allow for discussion and dissent on details, as well as the central concept. If delay is too long, those who support renewal in principle but disagree with parts of a proposal may be forced to abandon their criticisms, or to go to the other extreme by opposing the plan in its entirety. Neither prospect is very pleasing...
